Thanks for the first hand account, Jay. I didn't make any claim about
volcanic ash. I made a claim about my friend. He told me about it. Do
you happen to know if volcanic ash is considered igneous rock or if it
is paramagnetic? Does anyone know what's so good about paramagnetic rock
dust? I heard that the soil should ideally be half paramagnetic and
half of sedimentary origin. Does anyone know if this claim is correct?
